I don't think you're right there. Most of Chelmsford is within a thirty
minute walk of the station.
A 30 min walk to the station is pushing it for a daily commute, especially if
its freezing cold or ****ing down.
I did it for about a year. A bit of rain or cold didn't hurt me.
Let me guess - you were a young single male?

I was. I'm not any more, but a bit of rain or cold still doesn't hurt
me. Nor does it hurt my half blind pensioner mother when she walks to
the station at oh dark thirty in the morning on one of her seemingly
continuous gallivants all over the country.

And both of you do that every day - like the commuters we are discussing
would be?
